Political activists gatecrashed Barclay’s AGM in Central London on Thursday to highlight the role of private finance initiatives (PFI) in “killing off” Britain’s public services, racking up unsustainable debt, dodging tax and funneling profits offshore.

Thursday’s demonstration marks the first of three planned days of protest to raise awareness about the impact of PFI projects on Britain’s schools and hospitals.

It was organized by The People vs PFI – a collective of grassroots organizations, students and NHS patients who are calling for Britain’s PFI contracts to be rendered null and void.
